NV-6 Establishing Your Endodontic Career - Part 2: Beyond Clinical Practice
CE Hours: 1.25
Description: Endodontists’ ability to prevent and eliminate apical periodontitis depends on their clinical expertise and technical skill. The ability to build a thriving and fulfilling career is what contributes to longevity as clinicians and potential for community impact. Clinical Endodontic practice is a gateway to numerous opportunities for both personal enrichment and practice marketing. Endodontists are uniquely skilled, and our talents can be employed in a variety of arenas, from academia to organized dentistry, to independent entrepreneurship. Engagement in areas beyond clinical practice not only shape public perceptions of endodontics and help market one’s own practice, but enhance practitioners' lifetime enjoyment and impact.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the benefits of engaging in community service, academic dentistry and organized dentistry.
- Identify real world opportunities for enrichment beyond the practice of clinical Endodontics.
- Formulate a plan for one’s own enrichment beyond clinical practice.
